Thanks to Empires & Puzzles for sponsoring!
Over the last several years I've reviewed many different manga and anime. So I figured I'd look back on all these stories and give them a ranking based on how I felt looking back on them today!
Feel free to let me have it in the comments. Dragon Ball, One Piece, Hunter Hunter, Naruto, Bleach, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Attack on Titan, Death Note, Chainsaw Man, Fullmetal Alchemist, Mob Psycho 100, Berserk are just some of the tales on this list! Is this the greatest tier list of all time? Let me know :P

I do agree that One Piece panelling is not the best because of how packed each page becomes with all the information but I think it should be noted that out of all the mangas you ranked, Oda is working with the manga that has by far the most story to tell and it doesn’t help that back in the days he could work with a lot more pages but some years after serialisation started they restricted him to only 17/18 pages per chapter. On top of that, people complain abt how much longer the story goes on so he’s really forced to do this type of panelling.

[@Seminariteat]

I 100% agree with you. I dont think oda is at fault here with the paneling. Oda created an amazing Story and I dont know any other Story as great and consistend as this one. Truly S Tier imo, no doubt. P.S. aot over OP? Man you have balls to put it there.

[@Kkstgch]

If that was his only criticism I find it REALLY weird he didn't make a similar comment about HunterxHunter. One Piece pales in comparisson, HxH often times seems like a book 😅. And if that was his only criticism of One Piece, then I kinda... I couldn't really take the rest of his assesments seriously. But then again, it's his opinion so it's okay. Bcuz while FMA and Mob did nothing for me, they meant a lot to him. It really is a very subjective topic.

Regarding JoJo, I recommend for you to read Part 7. Unlike the previous 6 parts, Part 7 was released once a month, rather than once per every week. This allowed Araki to make a better artstyle, writing and plot. At least 80% of JoJo fans agree that Part 7 is the best out of all released till now.

In subjectivity, you can use this list to see where Mark's preferences in media lay. Stories that alter his outlook on life positively are the ones that sit atop his list in Mob Psycho and Berserk. It's not just about how much he likes it, it's about how much of it sticks with him in daily life. Maybe that's why OP didn't make the cut?

If I had to recommend any manga/anime series, it would be Yu Yu Hakusho. Also written by Togashi, the same person as HunterXHunter. Surprisingly enough, it also has one of the best dubs out there, alongside Cowboy Bebop, which is another series you should look into.

Mark you should definitely try out Monster, Vagabond and Vinland Saga. If you love Berserk you'll definitely love these because the latter two are always involved in the same discussions as it And you're already an Urasawa fan so Monster is mandatory

[@thomasffrench3639]

What Urasawa work does he like? Also I need to read those series, because I’ve been pretty much only reading the Shonen Jump app and some first volumes like FMA and Berserk. Like I watched the anime of Monster and thought, “no, this story seems like I should enjoy it in manga format”. Is Monster better in anime or manga format?

Really appreciate your view of how you approach a show. By getting into the mindset of the author it lets you approach each series with a different mind set, but also being able to say you can appreciate a good piece of art (like LOTR) without actually “liking” it, you can throw in some objective commentary while also allowing your own personal feelings to give your own twist on things.

Let me just inform everyone just because a series is well written than others, that does not mean you’re obligated to love it more either. Just because something is better written that does not mean you’re going to have a personal connection with the story or the characters. Nobody should honestly judge you for liking a show or preferring a series that people considered low written, compared to something that is best written! You go with what your heart belongs too. 😃

[@powerjolt7215]

I personally really liked the narration scene in Hunter X Hunter. I think it increased the intensity and magnitude of the scene. The character's brains were working so fast and so many things happed at once that things appeared in slow motion. I think this scene would have flopped without the exposition over every single detail. I think it really increased the cataclysmic nature of the scene and the last arc in the Anime and made the scene especially great in the anime. I haven't red the manga, so I can't speak there but I think it was amazing.

It gave me a reason to keep living. As someone that used to suffer from really bad depression, something that made me want to keep going in life is gonna forever hold a special significance to me. It also being about following your dreams with those that you can call family also holds deep personal significance to me, along with it just being a well written story with world building unmatched by most other fictional series, and you've got my favorite piece of fiction of all time.

I had the same connection with One Piece than you did. Truly the artwork that empowered me to keep going forward.

[@N-Khal]

Naruto is number one for me

[@thehobbyist7275]

What's crazy is that as much as I love One Piece, I felt like I had to come to a personal decision: do I love One Piece's world building as much as I love the character writing of Berserk? To this very day, I can NEVER get the Eclipse out of my head. To this day, no manga had me SOBBING as much as Berserk did as it went down and how I was begging through tears for it to stop. Never had I experienced a manga that told me the villain was evil but also slowly tricked me into liking him and wishing every time that I saw him that things could be good again(knowing that it never would be). Never had I seen a romance as raw and realistically complex and goddamn beautiful as Casca and Guts. Never had I seen a badass and phenomenally developed female character as I have Farnese. Through all the horror that's made me gag, the intimate moments that have had me crying or cheering with pure ecstacy, to the goddamn most beautiful artwork that came from Kentaro Miuara, Berserk changed my life forever. I still really enjoy One Piece. In fact, it's slowly climbing the ranks of my favorite shōnen series. But as a young adult, Guts' struggles are somehow more relatable. He's the biggest underdog in his own story. He's not supposed to win, but he keeps fighting anyway. With how HORRIBLE his backstory is, I'm surprised he still can fight to survive every day. I'd give up; I know that about myself for sure. But Guts has changed and truly healed so much as of right now for me that I only want what's best for him. I want good things for him and to win for once. No character writing today compares to Berserk for me. No dark series with a compelling message speaks to me like Berserk can

[@projekttaku1]

one piece is amazing and its message is clear yet great: Freedom and dreams. Every character in some way either relates to or opposes freedom, whether it be the late gol D roger and him achieving his dream, or oden and his dream of making wano open, katakuri and his fear of being rejected for his mouth and love of donuts and tea, or even a minor character like ivankov, the whole story center's around being who you are and searching for your dreams, and so while the story may be completely fantastical, its message is one I'm sure a lot of people can relate to.

[@projekttaku1]

However, with that being said, I have to make assassination classroom my no. 1. Never have I seen an anime balance and develop an entire classroom so well in such short time, with initial goal of killing koro-sensei remaining but your feelings about him changing throughout as you learn more about him and his true history that makes the pieces start to fit together yet it also delivers on its premise in such an emotion and sad way, yet still manages to pull of a happy ending after the timeskip without compromising koro-sensei's death and its impact. The side characters are also very well written, with the principal being an amazing foil to koro-sensei with his own unique backstory, and the villains are a healthy mix of unredeemable scumbags and genuinely interesting characters like the reaper. And it does all of this in 2 seasons.

[@RandomDude-gr2ei]

Can anybody tell me the name of the outro at 25:24. I think it was also used in Mark's One Piece reviews but I can't find it. Thanks

[@desertsandfly2277]

I'm so excited to see your review on Z. I was longing for it after you reviewed every other series of dragonbal. I'm curious on on what media you'll cover, manga, anime(Japanese, original English dub or Z Kai).

Putting One Piece below AOT is probably the first take you've had that I've disagreed with

[@Panjax]

It would be really interesting to see what you thought of a manga series like Vagabond.

[@madmanmaxx136]

Wait, ..... WHAAAT!!!!?!?!?!?! you put it in AAA. wow bcs of the paneling that isnt even that bad, i actually like it, even though it gets crowded frequently, its still oda. wooow i did not expect this. "This is the best story arc I have read in my life" MY ASS.

[@MokonaModokiES]

well that was before reading the other series since One piece was his first attempt at branching out from his comfort zone. And all the others in the list he only read them much later on. And even during the reviews he brought up the paneling issues.

[@madmanmaxx136]

@@MokonaModokiES yes, but im schocked that he loves fma more than one piece, tbh i stoped watching the video when i saw where he placed it. I know its a stupid thing to say, but i feel wierdly betrayed, i was watching his full review series for a loong time, i really thought that the series that changed his profile would at least be S tier.

[@Danielviomusic]

Nah I call bullshit on this tier list. As someone so invested in the intrincancies of story telling I expected more from you. Like, you put Mob Psycho, which fails at plenty of basic things but attempt to hide them with darkness and struggle, or Attack on Titan, which is a narrative mess with plenty of deus ex machina in the second half of the series, both at S tier. Yet, you place One Piece, which in your own words from your reviews is a masterclass in storytelling, in A tier due to packed panelling. No shit? I'd love to see how the other mangakas manage to panel with such an incredibly complex story as One Piece.

[@dominiclombardi]

[@ZodiacBandit]

One piece is S tier the panel work isn’t that bad compared to a lot of shit it’s still very readable and when the time came for it the space was given only when necessary not every other page there’s no wasted space it’s a super long story and it can’t mess around with a full spread art piece every other page putting One piece in A for that is fucking trash

[@thiccum4004]

[@tenkiforecast]

I think the fascination with tier lists is how they let you get an idea of what specifically people value in their fiction, or to find different opinions or points of view on a story they enjoyed. They can help identify biases, patterns of thought, and it's always fascinating. I have a few differences but hey, it's entertainment and everyone's got their own opinions, lol.

One piece not being in S is criminal... huge miss on marks part. Also i recommend dorohedoro, which is also an S. Can't state how disappointing it is for the paneling keeping it out of s but ig thats just personal preference.

[@cmackk7284]

The thing that pisses me off the most is how much I know for a fact mark loved the series when he was going through it. I swear if you hadn't made one piece your dip into the world of manga and read it now after you consumed all these series I'm willing to bet it'd have a very snug spot in S tier, hell maybe even being THE S tier. I wish you goodluck on your journey of anime/manga but I'm definitely checking out. Adieu ✌

2 of my top3 mangas of all time sit comfortably at S tier and I couldn't be happier, hope you some day review Tokyo Ghoul. Love your takes tho. Can't wait to see more from you!

[@KytheYT]

Any shot you'd ever cover Yu Yu Hakusho? It's one of my personal favorite anime's, with an MC and cast that's incredibly interesting to psychoanalyze, plus it's easy to recommend the English Dub as it does some awesome, albeit unneeded, heavy lifting that makes it stand out as the premiere way to experience the story in my opinion due to how it brings these characters to life, and has an insanely talented cast of voice actors such as our boy Justin Cook in what I consider one of the best casting choices and moments of voice acting ever, Christopher Sabat, Linda Young, and several other familiar faces in anime in side roles such as Kyle Herbert. Yusuke Urameshi is the main stand out of the anime though. He's incredibly refreshing and is just an overall joy every time he's on screen, and how he impacts the lives of others, and fights to impact his own world view, is just some of the best writing put to Shonen anime and I would love to hear your thoughts about the series in general.

[@truedarkness4052]

Yes!!! You basically summed up why YYH is my fav as well. Mark is a bit of a weeb and his editor, Ajay, is a giga weeb, but there's really no better way to experience it than the English dub

[@jish6258]

You NEED to read Vagabond. It's the only manga that gets close to being as artistic and beautiful as Berserk, Vinland Saga is close but an unfortunate timeskip that ruins the pacing later on made it slightly below those two for me. Highly recommend both though.

[@DangerDaddyD]

Not gonna lie, I'm shocked you didn't put One Piece into S tier. I agree with your issue on paneling later in the series, but there are still so many more incredible, stand out panels and art in the series up to the current arc (just look at Roger's laugh or one i think is critically underrated, the lighting of the lanterns during Luffy vs. Kaido). Anyway, my personal SSS+ tier manga is Monster and i really hope it's one of the next you choose to review. That is the story that truly changed my outlook on what manga was and what it could do. Love that series so much.

[@richardnixon2587]

I have a manga suggestion. You’ve been covering a lot of shonen recently and some of them are my favorites like mob psycho and FMAB, but I think it would be cool to cover steins gate, which is psychological to change up the genre

While one piece and fma are my personal S tiers, I fully understand why you enjoyed both berserk and attack on titan as much as you did even if they aren’t stories that work for me personally. That said, I put Death note in D for death note lol but also because I hate the culture it spawned personally with people wishing they were light or that he was real when that misses the entire purpose of his character. All that said, that ending got me. Easily the best part 🤣. But yeah, my personal s tiers are yu yu hakusho, fma, and especially one piece. Can’t thank you enough for getting me off my three year break from my favorite story that I had to mad rush (though appreciate all the glorious story and art of course) to catch up to you so I could meet everyone in wano. For context, I had stopped halfway through dressrosa 😂. Anyways, glad to seen you’ve enjoyed so many stories and I look forward to your dbz review soon Mark 😊.
